> > When my meds are working well...I think I'm a good person, husband, father, etc. I really like me, therefore it's easier to like and love others. When I'm down, meds aren't helping, life sucks etc. I become somewhat a different person, not as nice, not outgoing, not confident...when I feel this way, I've learned to Hate my illness...not myself. I've learned over the years that i'm not "bad" during these times, but the illness is, and therefore I hate the illness but still love myself.
That's a great point, Tyler. It might be easier for all of us if we could learn to hate the illness without hating ourselves.
Thank you for making that point.
